Hey /diy/. I have something I really want to build but due to

I little glue gun should do the trick. Not too much.

Lel thanks anon. Basically while I was making this thread I got the idea of how I'm going to do it anyways. I'm going to 3-D print parts and then either cast them in aluminum or send them off to a shop that makes custom gears. I will have the gears made and steel and the mount for the motor made out of aluminum.

I only need help picking out a workable motor.

Check commercial gear suppliers like Boston Gear. Most machinist buy standard gears then machine them to fit their shafts etc. Gear hobbing is typically expensive because of setup so standard is good.

Why are you using a Ripstik if you're going to attach a motor to it? The whole point of a Ripstik is that you can generate your own power and momentum without touching the ground with your erotic gyrations. If you're going to forego that, you might as well get a skateboard that has the benefit of 4 wheel stability and much easier time attaching a motor to.

>erotic gyrations

also agree with later part of statement

>>1148855
From what I've seen it's more herky-jerky

Op here- I've considered the skateboard thoroughly but realized that I lose massive maneuverability. The speed is the only lacking item when discussing daily use on campus. I just need to know what motor will work. Also it can be both erotic or herky derky.

Have you thought about how everything would physically fit? Both wheels have free rotation along 2 axis. In addition, when you do sharp turns, the wheels lean quite a bit. So to mount your motor, you'd have to figure out how to retain the freedom of range, and also not stick out so much that it scraps along the ground when turning.

Drag on wheel no free rolling throw off balance no work no good

Yes I did consider that and the factors affecting that would be motor size and shape, and I have fully considered the fit of everything except the motor because I don't know what small motor would have the strength to propell me.

Here you go, OP. I drew out a mockup of what you're after.

LOL, I used to play with that skate when was I was a child :') I've got that thing held yet
